This afternoon’s ceremony for Sen. Faith Winter was deeply touching. Faith led with courage and heart, always fighting for the people she served. Colorado won’t be the same without her, but her legacy will continue to light the way.

There is nothing “clean” about the Continuing Resolution that was passed tonight.
Sure, it reopens the government—but it does nothing to address the healthcare crisis that Republicans created.

Becoming increasingly clear we’re gonna have to build a parallel infrastructure for all the media we really love. The reason all of this is happening under the color of law is hyperconsolidation, dissent being traded straight up for merger approval, or fear of harassment.

I’m not sure who deserves more disdain and disgust: Trump and the FCC for their blatant violation of the Constitution or Disney and Nexstar for sacrificing their values and folding to a wannabe Mob Boss.
It was Jimmy Kimmel tonight, but dare to criticize the president and it could be you tomorrow.

Today is a day when the systemic racism and misogyny of an electorate finding this abject clown show more credible than the smart Black lady - and the smart white lady before her - is really on display.
